    Hey, was wondering if I could get some advice...one of my mates is planning to get married in the same year as me (or that was the plan) but has hit some money trouble. I feel guilty about discussing my wedding with her when I know that she really wants to plan hers (she's more the marrying/homemaker type than me) but I keep saying to myself that it's not my fault that they are having money trouble.

    To top it off, she still thinks that she is going to be cheif bridemaid...but we fell out quite badly last year and I sorta replaced her with another friend who has become my best mate essentially we are soul mates. I could never get back the closeness that we had, and there is no way that she would be a bridesmaid, but I don't know how to break the news to her, I just know that it will mean we fall out again. Help please!!!

    She's not the most reliable of people (bless her) and she fell out with her father quite badly (they still not talking and prob never will) and tried to stop me inviting him, but he is my H2B's uncle so I can't not. We have a very volatile friendship at best and she had a habit of pulling out at the last minute and I really don't need that when the wedding is a few weeks away (obviously preparing for worst case scenario).

    Oh and another thing...some advice on how to tell biological father that he is not walking you down the aisle, but your step dad is??? Don't want to hurt his feelings, but he has no right to give me away as he had very little to do with my up bringing as opposed to my mom and step dad.

    I would give her a special role keep your cbm but have her as a moh and give them each different roles but give her things that it doesnt matter if she doesn't getthem done. As for your dad just tell him that your step dad had more influence on developing you as a person so it feels right that he should give you away xxx

    hey; had a similar prob to btoth of these; told my ex best friend that she was no longer a person i could realisiticly invite to my wedding and she went off on one which proved tahat she really wasnt the person i thought she was; no loss tbh
    and about the dad thing; my bio-dad has recentyly come back into my life...at about the same time as my step proved himself to be a total kn0b. Kinda solved itself really, but telling the SD wont be easy. hes still assuming hes in.

    good luck, these things are nver easy <3 x
